Burning For Bernie!

Bernie
Sanders is a big hit with Satanists. In a highly popular pro-Sanders meme group,
created on Facebook, a post with an image stating “Satanists for Bernie 2016”
has received well over 1,100 likes and well over 200 shares. Countless
others embraced the “endorsement.” One member of the group posted “Bernie is
actually pretty popular among Satanists. A solid majority of the people I know
in the satanic community plan on voting for him.” Another group, the Satanic
Communist Party, with membership of over 2,000 souls, also appears to be heavily pro-Bernie. It should be noted, however, that the central hub of satanic worship, the Church of Satan, hasn't yet officially endorsed any candidate. I can see why. It must be an agonizingly difficult choice for them again this year! Hillary or Bernie, Bernie or
Hillary?

Many
socialists in the U.S. are attempting to distance Sanders "version" of socialism
from communism. There have been those in the past who likewise attempted to portray "their version" of socialism as distinct from communism, but Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx and others openly admitted that “the goal of socialism… is communism.”

Oh
well, the devil is in the details. Meanwhile, let's "Burn for Bernie!" baby!

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

True Then, True Now

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill

Time Well Wasted

The power lies within your hands To do with what you may But the hourglass is filled with sands Of endless yesterdays
